A DREAM HAS BECOME TRUE

 

February 20, 2022

Dear Diary,

I really can’t believe it! Finally! I can feel that you have been curious about what I am going to write, right my trustworthy friend? Finally, I have been invited to the universities in Europe to present my books. As I have written many books on different topics in such a little age, everyone wants to know what I have written. Actually, I believe that they cannot imagine a high school student might be able to write nice, hearth-touching, philosophical and self-development books. Therefore, they want me to visit many places in different countries at Europe and to introduce both myself and my books. Anyways, I think, I should tell you everything from at the beginning…

You may have remembered that I have told you two months ago… I have been invited to a well-known university in Turkey. First of all, I have given a speech about myself. I told about my writing adventure and what my books about. I had written a self-development book for students at high school, a philosophy book where I share my own ideas, three books where I have gathered my all essays in different languages -Turkish, English and Spanish-, and a sweet, light, heart-touching love story.

Throughout my presentation, I could see that all eyes were on me. Everyone in the auditorium were listening to me absolutely carefully, which was really flattering. After my speech, people lined up -at least five hundred people- were waiting to see my books and get a signature of me. I met cute and curious people. They were all asking me many questions and having a nice conversation.

Suddenly, I encountered with a middle-aged woman, who was a professor in the Oxford University. She offered me to make the same presentation in some universities at Europe as well! Can you believe or imagine it!!! I really can’t, but I should believe it because I have been travelling for three weeks!

I know you are excited, so let me continue… Approximately five weeks later from the exhibition in Turkey, I started packing my clothes and books, of course. My first station was “the Oxford University”. I had a thrilling airplane trip, and I went to a breath-taking hotel where the meals and the beverages were amazing! I was living a dream life… Next day, I did the same presentation at the University. Afterwards, the professor and a small group of another people showed me around. We went to British Museum, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Hyde Park, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle. We had delicious meals and incredible desserts. Then the trip has continued…

My next stop was France. I would always want to visit France as I found its atmosphere really romantic. By the time I arrived at my spectacular hotel, some professors came. They bring me to a wonderful café in Nice. After we ate our croissants and talked about literature, we went to the University of Paris. I repeated my conference, and interestingly everyone was looking at me in an amazed way. Still, I could not understand why everyone was impressed about my speech and my books. The only thing I have done is my passion about reading, writing and literature. This might be my little secret while writing my “popular” books. My speech was well enough, I guess. Then the professors and I went to Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower and Palace of Versailles. It was an incredible tour!

Next day I went to Spain, which was my final destination. I gave a speech at University of Barcelona. Most of the people were interested in my book which was in Spanish. I should admit that was really “cool”! We ate paella, tapas and churros. The atmosphere of our restaurant was beautiful “amigo”! We went to Plaza Mayor and had a sweet tour at Sagrada Familia.

All in all, now I am at home, and telling about my fantastic journey. As I was very excited when I arrived at home, I wanted to write everything. Now it is too late! Good night, dear diary…

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS AND SOCIETIES: INTERNAL ASSESSMENT (IB)

  HOW DOES THE COUNTRIES’ -TURKEY, THE NETHERLANDS AND THE USA- SOLAR POWER USAGE CORRELATE WITH THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS? PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT Solar energy can be used for solar water heaters and house heating. The heat from solar energy enables the production of food, chemicals, textiles, and it can also be used in warm greenhouses, swimming pools, and livestock buildings. Furthermore, providing a power source for electronic devices and even cooking can be achieved by using solar energy [1] . Turkey is a country which might use the solar power energy efficiently. However, in our country, although the solar energy is used sporadically for hot water in domestic use and in some hotels in southern Turkey, we can state that it is not widely applied as a sustainable and a clean energy source. Unlike Turkey, the Netherlands uses the technological opportunities really well, even though the country does not have an extreme access of sun light [2] . On the contrary, United States ...

ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION AND ENERGY SAVING

   [7] INTRODUCTION: THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT Electricity has a great importance in our World nowadays. Especially, due to the pandemic we all have started using the electrical devices and gadgets much more than before. This increase in electricity consumption has absolutely some effects on the environment. These impacts depend on the usage, how and where we have been generating or delivering. The usage of electricity may seem quite safe. However, the production and transmission of electricity have a huge impact on the environment. Electricity is generated by moving a conductive wire such as copper in a magnetic field. An electric generator is a machine that contains coiled conductive wires rotating inside a magnet and generates electric current by rotating these wires. In order to obtain a large amount of electrical energy which is necessary in our homes, workplaces, industry; large power plants are needed. [8]   Most power plants are gen...

ENGLISH INDIVIDUAL ORAL QUESTIONS (IB)

    What ideas and images do we associate with a healthy lifestyle? In my opinion the main point is balancing our lives. Most of the people think that a healthy lifestyle includes only eating vegetables and fruits, doing tons of cardio and not even tasting the meals that include carbohydrates. This idea is wrong. Because a lifestyle should be able to last forever. We should also include some awards like chocolate or pasta in our diet. What constitutes an identity? The society plays the biggest role while creating our identities. Because our values and culture affect our way of thinking and our lifestyle as well. Our family and our friends may change our point of view. For instance, when we visit our family members who live abroad may develop our personality. While talking with them we might use another language. And the language we use improves our vision. When we start talking another language, we might think in a different way than usual. The vocabulary and the gramm...
